I picked up a another Bing at a pretty good price. I didn't |
|
need to do much to this little engine and going to pretty much |
|
leave it as is. |
|
1927~1931 Model steam engines with steel-blue patinated brass |
|
boiler (made of drawn tubes) and fixed forward- and |
|
reverse-operating steam cylinders, Nickel-plated fittings, |
|
mounted on a solid, painted iron base. Height 33cm / 13 Inches |

Those are always nice ones to have on the shelf .... and they |
|
don't take up very much space, so you can have several!!! ;c) |

I changed out my gasket & doubled up Weeden seals for some |
|
O-Rings I got off Amazon today. They are 3mmx10mmx3.5mm Nitrile |
|
Rubber O-Rings. I also bought 4mmx10mmx3.5mm but 4mm ID was too |
|
big and leaked as soon as I put water into the tank. I also |
|
meant to get Fluorine, since it has a higher heat tolerance but |
|
the Nitrile appear to be doing well after two steam tests. |
|
I have a spare Bing sight glass that came off a 10/120, its |
|
glass OD measures out to be 4mm and this candlestick measures |
|
out at 3.5mm. I do like the fit on my spare a lot better but |
|
these are doing just fine on the 3.5mm sight glass on this |
|
candlestick. Though if any if these Bing Sight Glass' come |
|
under a 3.5 OD then they would likely leak. |
|
Now I can put my Weeden seals back into the parts drawer! |
